Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftfahrzeugdeckel (1, 1') mit einem seine Drehachse definierenden Scharniermechanismus (9) zum drehbaren Anbauen an einem Fahrzeugaufbau (12), zumindest einem krafterzeugenden Hilfsmittel (2, 2'), das mit einem aus mehreren Hebeln bestehenden Hebelmechanismus (5, 5', 6, 6') ausgerüstet ist, und mit einem Schließmechanismus.The invention relates to a motor vehicle cover (1, 1 ') with a hinge mechanism (9) defining its axis of rotation for mounting on a vehicle body (12), at least one force-generating device (2, 2') which is equipped with a lever mechanism consisting of a plurality of levers ( 5, 5 ', 6, 6') is equipped, and with a closing mechanism.

Es ist vorgesehen, dass der Hebelmechanismus (5, 5', 6, 6') aus zwei miteinander drehbar in einem als ein Gelenk (4) ausgeführten Verbindungspunkt (4) verbundenen Hebeln (5, 5', 6, 6') zusammengesetzt ist, wobei einer der beiden Hebel (5) auf der Seite des Fahrzeugaufbaus (12) mit seinem anderen fahrzeugaufbauseitigen Ende drehbar in einem fahrzeugaufbauseitig angeordneten Gelenk (7) gelagert ist und der zweite Hebel (6) mit seinem anderen Ende (8, 8') auf der Seite des Kraftfahrzeugdeckels (1) in einem schließdeckelseitig angeordneten Gelenk (8) gelagert ist und das krafterzeugende Hilfsmittel (2) an einem der beiden Hebel (5, 6) an einem Punkt angreift, der nicht mit dem fahrzeugaufbauseitig angeordneten Gelenk (7) oder dem schließdeckelseitig angeordneten Gelenk (8) der beiden drehbar verbundenen Hebel (5, 6) übereinstimmt, sondern in einem vorgegebenen wirksamen Hebelarm entsprechenden Abstand davon an dem jeweiligen Hebel angeordnet ist, und die drehbar miteinander verbundene Hebel (5, 5', 6, 6') bei geschlossenem Zustand des Kraftfahrzeugdeckels (1) im Wesentlichen zusammengeklappt und bei geöffnetem Zustand des Kraftfahrzeugdeckels (1') im Wesentlichen aufgeklappt sind.

Figure imgaf001
It is envisaged that the lever mechanism (5, 5 ', 6, 6') is composed of two levers (5, 5 ', 6, 6') rotatably connected with each other in a connection point (4) designed as a hinge (4) in which one of the two levers (5) on the side of the vehicle body (12) is rotatably mounted with its other end on the vehicle body side in a joint (7) arranged on the vehicle body side and the second lever (6) with its other end (8, 8 ') is mounted on the side of the motor vehicle cover (1) in a hinge (8) arranged on the closing cover side and the force-generating aid (2) acts on one of the two levers (5, 6) at a point which does not interfere with the joint (7) arranged on the vehicle body side. or the closing cover side arranged joint (8) of the two rotatably connected levers (5, 6) matches, but in a predetermined effective lever arm corresponding distance thereof is arranged on the respective lever, and the rotatably interconnected Lever (5, 5 ', 6, 6') in the closed state of the motor vehicle cover (1) folded substantially and when the state of the motor vehicle lid (1 ') are substantially opened.
